Insatiable Hearts and the future ~

Hey yall, just popping in to say a few things and share some side material lol. I want to start out and say you all are amazing, this has been the most support I've ever received in a single month and thats wild. I don't know it was just happenstance or if the addition of clothing was that inciting for some of yall. But its a major boon and I hope to continue to deliver on y'all's expectations (and mine) ~

So, a few things I should get out of the way. My roommate has moved out earlier than expected (long story) and its kind of thrown us off. We're okay, but its another reason all this support has been so helpful, it'll soften the financial blow. My mother in law in coming to stay with us this summer to help watch my kiddo while I continue my so far fruitless job hunt, so that'll also give me more time for the game. I'll thinking about opening up commissions again, so I'm going to be working on getting that ball rolling once more after I shake off some dusts. So if anyone is interested I'll probably have a new comm sheet made in the next few weeks haha


Anyways, enough of that. Back to the game! So, like I said last post, the previous two updates have been pretty mechanical focused so I'm planning to do more character focused stuff with the various NPCs, theres some that are sorely needing new content and some I just want to work on. I want to get a few more the story beats actually rolling, so I'm going to see what I can do while I'm juggling the home life stuff ~

I already know what I'll probably be working on this round (some stuff for Laurent, some meat monger stuff, some things for the Melmatrian temple and some other things lol) but I want to open the floor and hear from yall, not necessarily just about this next update but like in general with the way Insatiable Hearts is developing, what are you wanting to see most, what excites you? What brought you to support my project of all things? haha. I love feedback and I love knowing yall are having a good time with whats essentially my autistic hyperfixation haha

Also, I figure I'd share some of the side junk I've been doing. I felt like getting some of my brain goop down in a consumable format so I ended up making a first draft map of the Empyrean Midden. It includes all the current areas plus some that I may or may not do in the future if its relevant. I want to do more art for the game in general. I particularly want to get the time to draw up some of the scenes and interactions with NPCs, but eventually I'd love to make all the parts to build a paper doll for the player character




Anyways. Thank you all again for your support and enthusiasm for my project and I hope to keep bringing yall my best ~
